Honorary Life Members
Honorary [Life] Members have been designated by the Board of Directors since Nov. 5,
1892. Under present Board Policy these are to be made only by unanimous vote of the full
Board of Directors to recognize "distinguished service to the cause of conservation or to the
Club."
In addition, the Bylaws (Art. 6) allow the Board "by unanimous vote, elect annually an
Honorary President and Honorary Vice Presidents, who shall become members of the Club
exempt from payment of dues." Thus, in essence, if they were not already Honorary Life
Members, election to these honorary offices is the functional equivalent.
The Club’s pre-1906 records were lost in the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, and only
secondary sources are available about such actions of the Board of Directors as the designation
of Honorary Life Members and Honorary Officers. Moreover, in the Club's early years,
terminology was a little loose, with some persons intended to be made Honorary Life Members
being elected as simply “Life Members" or “Regular Members”. In the meeting of Dec. 7, 1935,
an effort was made to clear up the confusion with regard to those still alive and on the books by
reiterating a list of Honorary Life Members, leaving some uncertainty about those no longer
alive including, for example, some persons appearing as Honorary Vice Presidents in listings in
the Bulletin, without any action being apparent in the Board minutes. Complicating matters, the
Board has apparently on some occasions given some persons Life Memberships without any
intention for these to be Honorary, generally in response to a major financial contribution. When
the Board granted a “Life Membership” specifically referring to a contribution to conservation,
this has been interpreted as having been a Honorary Life Membership. When specific
44
conservation work is not mentioned, or when a specific financial contribution is mentioned, this
has been interpreted as a regular Life Membership. (A minor further complication came after
computerization of the Club’s records, when some regular Life Members were for a while
misrecorded as Honorary Life Members.)
At the meeting on May 1, 1948, Francis Farquhar discussed past practice with regard to
Honorary Vice Presidents:
"in the early years of the Club's activities, people who had not been active in the management
of the Sierra Club but who had contributed in an outstanding manner to its work were named
Honorary Vice-Presidents; more lately others have been included – especially those who
have been members of the Board and who have served as President. The procedure had
recently been questioned, and was therefore brought before the Board. ... the President
deferred the election of Honorary Vice-Presidents to a committee, ... Robinson subsequently
reported the committee's conclusion that Honorary Vice-Presidents should be elected on the
basis of their general public contribution to the things for which the Sierra Club stands, and
that membership or former membership on the Board of Directors of the Club should not
influence their election. ... Robinson's motion was unanimously carried."
In the early years, Honorary Officers were assumed to remain in place after election. Later,
their election was renewed each year during the spring meeting. A couple of Honorary Vice
Presidents were elected to the Board after being so designated; these persons then were not
relected as Honorary Vice Presidents during these terms on the Board, the Honorary status
returning after their elected terms ended. One Honorary Vice Presidency was formally ended by
Board vote.
At its meeting on September 23-24, 2000, the Board designated all living and future
recipients of the John Muir Award as Honorary Life Members.
